To determine how many notepads can fit in a box that is 2 feet wide, we first need to convert the width of the box from feet to inches, since the width of the notepad is given in inches.
Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we can calculate the width of the box in inches:
- 2 feet = 2 x 12 inches = 24 inches
Now that we know the width of the box is 24 inches, we can find out how many 2-inch wide notepads can fit into the box by dividing the width of the box by the width of one notepad:
- Number of notepads = Width of the box / Width of one notepad
- Number of notepads = 24 inches / 2 inches = 12 notepads
Therefore, a total of 12 notepads can fit in the box that is 2 feet wide.
